How far will the bus (in #7) go in seven hours at that average speed? = 11. A car starts from rest and reaches a velocity of 60 km/h in 20 s. Calculate its acceleration. = 14. How long will it take to travel 2500 km if the train constantly accelerates? 6. A car which traveled: 15 km 35o N of E; 20 km 60o N of E; and 10 km 45o S of E. Calculate the distance traveled by the car and its displacement. = 7. What is the average speed of a bus that travels 73.5 km in 1.35 hours? = 10. A car travels a distance of 60 km from Manila to a town nearby. What is its average velocity (in km/h) if the car traveled from 5:00 AM to 5:45 AM? = 13. A train starting at rest acquires a velocity of 10m/s in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration? 16. A 1.5 kg object at rest is acted upon by a constant net force of 35 N. What is its acceleration? = 19. A gardener pushes a lawn mower 30m across a lawn with a force of 150N along a handle that makes an angle of 45o with the ground. How much work is done? = 22. If the same man (in #21) takes 15s to push the box across that distance (3.5m), what is his power output in watts and in horsepower? = 9. How long will the bus (in #7) take to travel 250 km at that average speed? = 12. If acceleration of the car (in #11) remains the same, what will its velocity be after another 20 s? = 15. What force is required to accelerate a car weighing 20,000N from 40 km/h to 80km/h in 15 s? 18. A certain rope will break when a force of more than 800 N is exerted on it. Two men pull on the rope in opposite direction with a force of 500N each. Will the rope break? = 21. A man uses a horizontal force of 100N to push a box at a distance of 3.5m. How much work does the man perform? = 24. What is the kinetic energy of a 2500lb car whose velocity is 40 mi/h?

17. A force of 100N gives an object of unknown mass, an acceleration of 20 m/s2. What is the mass of the object? = 20. A force of 985N is needed to push a car across the street. Two men push the car 35m. How much work is done? = 23. A hoist powered by a 2.5hp motor is used to raise a 25.0kg bucket of gravel to a height of 15.0m. Find the time required to do the work. =
